Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants Achieving Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12) in the Intention-to-Treat (ITT) Population
12 weeks after last dose of study treatment (Week 20)

SVR12 is defined as the hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) level less than the lower limit of quantification (\< LLOQ) 12 weeks after the last dose of study treatment. Efficacy was demonstrated if the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for the percentage of participants achieving SVR12 was greater than 90.5%.

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12)
12 weeks after last dose of study drug (week 20 or 24 depending on treatment regimen)

SVR12 was defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level less than the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; less than 15 IU/mL) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

Percentage of HCV GT1 - GT6-Infected Participants in Arm A Who Achieved Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post Treatment (SVR12)
12 weeks after the last actual dose of study drug, Week 20 or Week 28 depending on the treatment regimen.

Sustained virologic response 12 weeks post-treatment (SVR12) was defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level less than the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; less than 15 IU/mL) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

Percentage of HCV GT1-Infected Participants in Arm A Who Achieved SVR12
12 weeks after last actual dose of study drug, Week 20 or Week 28 depending on the treatment regimen

SVR12 was defined as plasma HCV RNA level less than 15 IU/mL 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

Percentage of HCV GT2-Infected Participants in Arm A Who Achieved SVR12
12 weeks after the last dose of study drug, Week 20 or Week 28 depending on the treatment regimen.

SVR12 was defined as plasma HCV RNA level less than 15 IU/mL 12 weeks after the last actual dose of study drug.

Percentage of Participants in the Modified Intention-to-Treat Population With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12)
12 weeks after the last actual dose of study drug, Week 20

SVR12 was defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level less than the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; 15 IU/mL) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug. The 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was calculated using the Wilson's score method. Efficacy was to be established if the lower bound of the 95%CI was greater than the threshold of 92.4%, based on the historical rate observed in glecaprevir/pibrentasvir registrational studies in treatment-naïve, non-cirrhotic patients (98.4%) minus a margin of 6%.

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response 12 Weeks Post-treatment (SVR12) in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype (GT) 1,2,4,5 and 6-infected Participants in the Per Protocol (PP) Population
12 weeks after last dose of study drug

SVR12 was defined as plasma hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) level less than the lower limit of quantification (\<LLOQ; less than 15 IU/mL) 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug. Efficacy of the 8-week treatment duration compared to the historical 12-week treatment duration was demonstrated if the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) for the percentage of participants with HCV GT1, GT2, GT4, GT5, or GT6 infection in the 8 week treatment duration achieving SVR12 was greater than 94% in the PP population. Efficacy analyses were performed following a fixed-sequence testing procedure to control the type I error rate. The percentage of participants achieving SVR12 was summarized with a 2-sided 95% CI, calculated using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution. If the number of participants who failed to achieve SVR12 rate was less than 5, the Wilson's score method was used to calculate the CI.

Frequently asked questions about Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir Adult Formulation

What is Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir used for?

Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir is used for the treatment of chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, including genotypes 1 through 6. It is being studied in adults and pediatric patients, and in some trials includes those with HIV co-infection or acute HCV infection.

How does Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir work?

Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir is a combination of two direct-acting antiviral agents that target different steps in the HCV replication cycle. Glecaprevir inhibits the NS3/4A protease, while pibrentasvir inhibits the NS5A protein, together blocking viral replication.

Who makes Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir?

Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir is developed by AbbVie Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ABBV.

What phase is Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir in?

Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir is in Phase 3 clinical development for chronic Hepatitis C virus infection. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA based on the information provided.

What clinical trials is Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir in?

Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir has completed nine clinical trials, including NCT03067129 in pediatric subjects, NCT03212521 in treatment-naive adults, NCT03222583 in Asian adults, and NCT04903626 in acute HCV infection. All trials are completed, with no active trials ongoing.

Is Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir the same as ABT-493/ABT-530?

Yes, Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir is also known as ABT-493/ABT-530, as referenced in clinical trial NCT03222583. The combination is being studied under both names in clinical research.
